August Technique - Plastic Wrap & Reinkers

Another fun technique was shared and learnt at our August Technique Classes. Plastic Wrap & Reinkers, what fun!! I always smile when I see the reaction of the ladies when I announce that I went to the kitchen to get the supplies needed to make our technique class.

The Plastic Wrap and Reinkers create a "tie-dye" background on our Whisper White cardstock. By starting with a plastic lid (we used cottage cheese lids) and adding a couple drops of reinker (we kept each color separate by using a separate lid for each color); taking our plastic wrap and scrunching it together and dabbing it in the ink. By dabbing the plastic wrap all over the plastic lid, distributed the ink so that we didn't have blobs of ink in only one place. You want to have even color distribution, it just makes for a nicer card.

Let's get started!!

Card #1 - Happy Birthday to a Classic! (I am thinking I will be using this card for my husband's birthday in September, he is definitely a classic! LOL!)

This is a pretty easy fold, the Melon base is only 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and has the Black layer taped to it, taking the other Melon piece, glue the scored flap behind the main Melon base. It will have the Happy Birthday sentiment taped to only half of it so that when you raise this piece you will see the inside sentiment. We glued star sequins to add just the right amount of bling to our black embossed layer.

There you have it! Another technique in the books, I hope that you like it and will want to try it at home on your own. Join me next month for the September Technique class, our technique will be Faux Illusion. Just in time for fall, won't this be fun!! Can't wait to show you how it is done!
